20 April 2010: Election Day (dun dun dun...)

Last evening's chapter meeting was Different. Really different. We had 9 candidates vying for the 8 roles in the executive committee. Although the turn up of the spectators were rather dismal, due to the examination period, the new executive committee was formed- by unanimous votes.

Election speeches:

Treasurer: Anngun and Nadirah
Secretary: Min Zee and Mike*
VPPR: Crystal
VPM: Nadirah and Mike
VPE: Min Zee, Zhen Cong and Suwandi
President: Devesh**, Fahmy and Zhen Cong
SAA: TBA

*Mike could not be present due to being caught up in Vietnam, however he did send us a video he made for his election speech. However, it could not be downloaded in time for the chapter meeting. Thus, Sean, CC filled in for him as required.

** Devesh was absent due to a family emergency. Good luck and all the best. Our well wishes are with you.


The Results for the New Executive Committee (2010 - 2011)

President: Devesh, CC, CL

SO,
What happened after the elections and results were announced???
Answer: VODKA LIME HAPPENED BABY!!!

Why?

Because I love my exco and I reeealllly wanna welcome the new exco in...with the warm lingering crazy comfort of ALCOHOL

I think I may be one of the craziest VPPRs out there!

From the next post onwards, I shall not be your author. But I welcome my new VPPR, Crystal, to take over me.

For now, ciao bella~!

On the fateful 9th of Feb 2010, 11 brave toasties braced themselves for the inevitable....

INTERNATIONAL SPEECH AND TABLETOPICS CONTEST 2010!!!!!!!!!!

The evening went smoothly, with a scrumptous dinner and orange cordial.

The table topic of the evening was: Diet with a conscience. Be a vegetarian.
Tough topic that made the boys go crazy due to the idea of losing their MEAT PROTEINS from their plates....
A myrid of answers included: The nature's cycle of the food chai
n, slaughtering cattle humanely, maggie mee and the vegetarian stall at SJI, being a "cow" and consuming supplements!

How would have I gone about doing it? I'd probably elaborate of the various types of vegetarians, saving animals and launch into my usual "fitness gal" mode. =p
The speakers were: Fahmy, Sean, Wee Yang, Crystal and Suwandy! *claps*


Then, came the prepared speeches....
The air was tense and nerve wrecking.

First up was Min Zee. Good try girl! =) Try harder the next time and you shall succeed!

Next was Sean, who spoke about himself, yet...it was neither egotistical nor arrogant. =)

Then came Suwandy, the ever inspirational speaker...a very motivational speech!
Fourth was yours truly...being a nervous wreck, I panicked at first but it went well in the end. *phew*

Fifth was Mike. An interesting speech! I liked how you motivated the people, especially the guys to love their country and be proud of it! (Especially Jesmund! haha)
Last but not least, was Chan Wee Yang! His speech was amusing, inspiring with a whole lot of cheek! Good delivery and impact on the audience!
